Hebrews 9:12-15

12and not through 1the blood of goats and calves, but 2through His own blood, He 3entered the holy place 4once for all time, 5having obtained 6eternal redemption. 13For if 7the blood of goats and bulls, and 8the 9ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the 10cleansing of the flesh, 14how much more will 11the blood of Christ, who through 12 13the eternal Spirit 14offered Himself without blemish to God, 15cleanse your conscience from 16dead works to serve 17the living God?

15For this reason 18He is the 19mediator of a 20new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been 21called may 22receive the promise of 23the eternal inheritance.
